  1. 1
    Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks

    The point (8, 15) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 289. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.

  2. 2
    Conditional Probability3 marks

    A bag holds 3 red, 5 blue and 4 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?

  3. 3
    Histograms3 marks

    A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 25 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?

  4. 4
    Bounds3 marks

    A block has mass 480 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 15 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.

  5. 5
    Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks

    Solve x^2 + y^2 = 100 and y = x - 2 simultaneously.
